-Teaching English in China...been doing this for years now...3 in China, 2 in Korea, 6 months in Russia.
-I'm moving up to Changchun the end of August, and will be teaching at a university there.
-Home town was Philadelphia. Went to University of Delaware and got my degree in Russian Literature. Yes liberal arts was a poor choice, thank you very much.

-Seeing new places, meeting new people, learning a little Chinese, trying to keep my Russian in practice. Waiting for the worst recession in a lifetime to end.

Playing the Piano

Height, Long Hair, oh and I'm not Asian. Well you know, little kids scream HELLO! and people chuckle nervously when they see me.

-Books:Russian Literature, especially Dostoyevsky and Solzhenitsyn
-Music: Rammstein
-Food: Most of it.

Beer, Books, a Piano, and I think that's about it...

Politics, History, and International Relations

Drunk or getting there. The last year and a half I've been living in a small town, with only a handful of foreigners, and my Chinese isn't so good that I can really talk to people. So I'm excited to be back in a real city, like Changchun, again.
